Wavelets (Husband!Nanase Haruka x Reader [One-Shot])

Wavelets

Not long ago, this never would have happened. Haruka had never been able to picture being this tender and loving with anyone. He was the vice-captain on the Iwatobi High School swimming team and a second year high school student at Iwatobi High School. Having graduated and celebrated their memorable years, he thought he would be an ordinary person. But then, all of a sudden, he had people in his life who needed him, who depended on him for everything. As soon as their first little boy had been born, he had felt his heart swell and burst with love he did not know existed. He shook his head slightly as he pondered this, still holding the little boy's hand.

"Daddy! Daddy! I wanna get a koi fish!" Haru gripped his dad's hand, pointing to a small area between two cabanas, particularly the one with a small tub of water and colorful egg-shaped water balloons. 

"Wait," Haruka murmured, gliding his eyes through the section of the festival they stood in. This seemed to down the child, because his grip on his hand loosened. Haruka ruffled his hair and placed his large hands on his child's shoulders, and the little boy nodded, "Okay, Daddy."

Chōchins and akachōchins hung on thin strings connecting to every cabana, lining the dirt lane with illuminating soft light. Civilians in yukatas filled the area, laughing and being with their own family. 

Five ikayakis came into Haruka's sight and he blinked. He took one stick, glancing to the right, seeing ____. His wife. In her beautiful dark blue kimono with white spots all over it. Her glossy ___ hair is in a updo-hairstyle, showing the bone structure of her face shapely. A hearty bang is swept to the side with kanzashi hairpins. The simple hairstyle provided her the impression of pure and a well-brought up lady, and even suits for a somewhat formal party. The small family all wore their yakatas, with the exception of Haruka.

"You owe me. Took me forever to at least make it to the stand! The line went almost out of the festival!" ____ fretted. She knelt, giving each of her kids a fried squid on a stick, leaving the last for herself. Mako, their youngest, waved the stick before plopping it in his mouth and sucking on it. Haru left to show his younger brother how to properly eat the sea animal, not like a sucker. Hineko, the middle child, came up and hugged her daddy's legs, gripping the clothing. Haruka pressed his hand gently on the back of her head to his leg, petting it as she giggled. 

"Do any of you want to get koi fish?" As if he said the magic words, the children bounced up and down in glee. Haruka let the tiniest of smiles grace his lips. The fact he could bring joy and happiness to other people, that he could do something other than recluse, made his heart feel light. He had spent so many years in solitary, never knowing he was even capable of giving love. For the first time in his life, he was truly surprised at himself.

Letting their eldest lead them to the stand, Haruka took a hold of ____'s hand. When arriving, they knelt to the small rectangle pool of water. Haruka inspected the depth of it and watched the small ripples as someone tried to grab a water balloon. It was too small. ____, knowing his look, laughed, messing up his hair, making the young man scowl and flip it back into place. Taking the stick to grab onto the items as he ate his fried squid in the other, he took no effort in grabbing the most numbers one could get with a stick: four. 

"Mommy! I got one!" Hineko jeered, showing her mommy. ____ smiled, praising her daughter. The little girl held the bag. "I think we should all get one, so they can be together." she suggested. Haruka watched a couple of children, who have strayed from their parents, attempting to win their own fish, but to no avail. He glanced at his own and held them out. "Here." The boys gasped, taking two fish for themselves each and ran off with a faint "thank you" in the distance.

When decided done, the kids held their bags containing their fish. "Look at them..." Hineko mused, watching the fish swim in circles. She giggled when it switch directions, turning back around and brushing its tail fin against the plastic. "Look, Mommy! It said 'hi'!"
